FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Magnus Sullivan to Present A Readingfrom His Book, ‘Better Than the Hand’

Acclaimed Filmmaker/Author to Deliver Authentic Story about Male
Masturbation at Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland, Oregon on June 10!

PORTLAND, Oregon (April 17, 2017) – Award-winning filmmaker/author Magnus Sullivan will discuss male masturbation and why the topic remains a taboo subject when he presents a reading from his new book “Better than the Hand” at 7 p.m. on June 10. It will be part of “The Mystery Box Show” storytelling series at Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland, Oregon.

The Alberta Rose Theatre is located at 3000 NE Alberta St., Portland, OR 97211. A special reception with the author follows the event for VIP ticket holders.

“For too long masturbation has been in the shadows and marginalized and thankfully today we’re slowly moving away from that with a better understanding of its role toward a healthy life and better sex,” Sullivan said. “This reading and discussion that follows it will give attendees a better rounded view of masturbation and how it improves sex, our relationship with our partners and our overall wellness.”

The event, which will also includes other noted authors, will feature the filmmaker-turned author reading passages of his acclaimed book “Better than the Hand.” In it, Sullivan discusses how a better understanding of self-pleasure can also be a path to personal growth and empathy for others—traits that are increasingly unrealized among more and more straight men. He then contrasts society’s widespread acceptance for female masturbation versus it’s equally wide shame of the same activity by men.

Best known for the 2015 acclaimed film “Marriage 2.0,” which earned numerous awards for blending mainstream cinema with explicit sex scenes, Sullivan wrote “Better Than the Hand,” to take male masturbation out of the shadows and into the proverbial light with a positive sexual health message.

The premise of the book supports his male-centric retailer ManShop.com, where Sullivan offers visitors a unique space that features a variety of sex products as well as access to the latest sex toys, informational blogs and a rewards program for valuable savings on purchases.

“Better Than the Hand,” is now available via Kindle on Amazon and ManShop.com – Interested media may request a complimentary copy of either edition by emailing Sarah at [email protected]
